This book provides a comprehensive survey of the development and
operations of the navies of South-East Asia since the end of World
War II. The navies of South-East Asia have rarely been the subject
of systematic attention but, as the maritime strategic balance
within Asia becomes more complex and open to challenge through the
rise of China, they will play increasingly significant roles. While
most have had only limited strength in the past, the majority are
acquiring new capabilities, notably submarines, which will
profoundly alter their ability to influence events. This volume
outlines the difficulties that each navy has faced in developing
capability in competition, not only with local armies and air
forces, but with other national requirements. The authors analyse
the way in which each has been shaped by history and by changing
maritime strategic concepts, particularly through developments such
as the 1982 Law of the Sea Convention. Drawing upon this contextual
information, the book goes on to examine how the navies are likely
to develop in the future, what new challenges they will face and
the nature of the roles they will play within a region of
increasing global strategic significance. This book will be of much
interest to students of naval policy, SE Asian politics, regional
security, strategic studies and IR in general.
